ZoneFlex R700 dual-band 802.11abgn/ac Wireless Access Point*Does not include power adapter or PoE injector. Includes Limited Lifetime Warranty.*At least 1 Year of Support is recommended with your AP purchase.

The ZoneFlex R700 ensures the most reliable connectivity within challenging and ever-changing RF environments. With BeamFlex+, the ZoneFlex R700 offers up to 2x increase in performance and range and is capable of delivering up to 6 dB of signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) improvement and up to 15 dB of interference mitigation over other APs. The ZoneFlex R700 simultaneously supports spatial multiplexing and BeamFlex+ to deliver the best price/performance of any three-stream 802.11ac AP.

With a throughput of 450 Mbps (2.4GHz) and 1300 Mbps (5GHz), the ZoneFlex R700 ensures maximum throughput to three-stream capable clients while also improving single and dual-stream client performance. This is achieved through the unique combination of adaptive antenna technology, predictive channel selection and adaptive polarization diversity. Backward compatible with all existing clients, the ZoneFlex R700 can function either as a standalone AP or as part of centrally-managed Wireless LAN with the Ruckus ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller.

ZoneFlex R700 is purpose-built for high-capacity, high performance and interference-laden environments such as airports, public venues, hotels, universities and conference centers. The perfect choice for data-intensive streaming multimedia applications, the ZoneFlex R700 delivers picture perfect HD-quality IP video while supporting VoIP and data applications that have stringent quality of service requirements.

The ZoneFlex R700 integrates a patented software-controlled adaptive antenna array that delivers additional signal gain per radio chain. As BeamFlex+ adapts to client locations and antenna polarity, the smart antenna array optimizes the RF energy toward client on a per packet basis. This allows for up to 2x improvement in signal range and a reduction in packet loss from the ability to automatically mitigate interference and obstacles. By combining BeamFlex+ with the transmit-based beamforming, the ZoneFlex R700 is capable of delivering up to 6 dB of SINR gain while offering concurrent support for spatial multiplexing.

In dynamic indoor and urban Wi-Fi environments device orientation constantly changes. This affects the polarization of the transmissions. Traditional Wi-Fi antennas are static in nature and only listen using one polarization. This prevents them from capturing the full signal from mobile client devices. The Ruckus R700 listens in all polarizations simultaneously. This results in up to 2x (4 dB) receive signal gain from mobile devices with weak transmitters.

Advanced WLAN applications with Smart/OS

When used with the Ruckus ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller, the ZoneFlex R700 supports a wide range of value-added applications such as guest networking, Dynamic PSK, hotspot authentication, wireless intrusion prevention and many more. WLANs can also be grouped and shared by specific APs. In a centrally managed configuration, the ZoneFlex R700 works with various authentication servers including AD, LDAP, and RADIUS.

Up to 6dB of signal-to-interference and noise (SINR) improvement and up to 15dB of interference mitigation

Benefits:

Reduced Wi-Fi interference
Up to 15 dB of interference mitigation and a 50 percent reduction in interference to neighboring APs

No need to upgrade PoE switches
Works under 802.3af power with no limitations requiring no need to upgrade PoE switches

Flexible deployment options
Standalone or controller-based deployment with any of Ruckus ZoneDirectors

Dual concurrent 3x3:3 MIMO and BeamFlex+
Three spatial streams combined with BeamFlex+ adaptive antenna technology ensures the most throughput out of the total 1300 Mbps available without the client capabilities for transmit beamforming

Adaptive polarization diversity with BeamFlex+ (PD-MRC)
Dual-polarized antennas that are dynamically selected provide better reception for hard to hear clients and more consistent performance as clients constantly change orientation. BeamFlex+ with 802.11ac enables rates at up to 2x the range vs. other vendors

Improved performance to legacy clients
Increases throughput to single and dual-stream clients by combining BeamFlex+, polarization diversity and three radio chains

Best in class channel selection with ChannelFly™
Capacity-driven channel selection predict and automatically selects best performing channel based on statistical, real-time capacity analysis of all RF channels
